Why can't Tanks PvP?

So how do you go about getting the developers and suits to tell the devs to make Tanks more viable in pvp? I really hate how we can be used as tanks in PvE but not in PvP. Case in points I can't block or defend very well against other class damage and other classes can stay alive much much longer and take a greater beating to mitigate the damage. I've been using Envy's DPS/PvP tank spec but it's just not enough damage to be viable and would rather be a defensive tank anyways in pvp.

- Dinkie aka Dragon Meat Shield and also now a sissy lala in pvp verse any 12 year old girl playing any range or rogue class. =(

    wow bro envys spec is very old now and guardian fighters dont really have much defence, i have tried full protector and full conqueror and conq is way better i get so many kills and not that many deaths because i can prone enemies and kill them fast. I have made a pvp guide for the guardian fighter on the forums, check it out for a few tips but if you want to be a full tank protector type then i would say go for as much hp as possible and your role wont be to get many kills but it could still be fun to play.

    I have not fully read it but it would be awesome if you could post pics of your powers and specs as well as how you have your skill/action bar set up.
